Specify numeric field value at creation in Firestore?
0
I want to create an integer value inside the firestore database at creation. However every variable I pass get turned into a string.
This is what I have:
next_group_id = self.GetNextGroupId() #returns int value
try:
# get the document
doc_ref = self._db.collection(GROUPS).document(next_group_id)
# create a new document
# this gets created as a string in firestore
doc_ref.set({
u'Group Id': next_group_id,
})
print("Created Group '{}'.".format(group._group_name))
except:
print("Possible firestore error has accord - unable to create group")
python-3.x firebase google-cloud-firestore firebase-admin

Does it set a number correct if you hard-code the value? I.e.doc_ref.set({ u'Group Id': 12, }). If so, it's at least clear that the problem is on the client/Python side.

I get this error A path element must be a string. Received 102, which is a <class 'int'>.

Hmmm... that sounds weird. I'm not sure why that happens, so hope that somebody else notices.

Turns out you cant search document with an integer like this:
doc_ref = self._db.collection(GROUPS).document(next_group_id)
So I just cast to an string and it works fine...
doc_ref = self._db.collection(GROUPS).document(str(next_group_id))
